Housing

The Washington Fellowship program has arranged housing in DC. Students live on Capitol Hill just minutes from the Metro station and attractions.

The benefits include simplicity in payment, fellowship with other Liberty University interns and a supportive resident assistant (RA).

Placement Assistance

A full time placement coordinator guides students through the placement process. It is at this time students will go through the professional development process. There are fall, spring and summer semester opportunities.

Throughout the semesters, many interns have received job offers as a result of the program. As the semesters progress, the percentage of interns receiving full time job offers increases.

Application Process

There is a $25 non-refundable application fee which must be paid online at the time you apply. Application fee and application must be submitted for program consideration. Please note that your submitted application does not mean you are accepted into the program. The Washington Fellowship staff will contact those who qualify to arrange for an interview. Students who are interested in program should schedule an appointment with the recruiter. Students must also keep in mind that their specific major has its own requirements.
